Application filed March 16, 1925.

T0 all who-m t may concern.'

Be it known that I, HAYES N. PEnERsoN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Racine, in the county of Racine and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Confection Cones; and-I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

This invention relates to confection cones.

Objects of this invention are to provide a novel form of confection cone in which a confection shell such as candy, chocolate or similar material may be employed in an economical and sanitary manner, and in which the user7s hands are fullyv protected from contact with this confection coating at all times, and in which the confection coating itself is protected during the ordinary `l`course of handling.

Further objects arev to provide a confection cone in which a very secure and rigid permanent holder is provided for a relatively shorter confection shell, and in which a removable shield for the confection shell itself is provided, thus permitting consumption of substantially the entire confection shell without danger of soiling the hands, and Without danger of contamination` of the confection shell.

An embodiment of the invention isl shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a view of the blank laid out fiat.

Figure 2 is a view of the finished product, such view being partly broken away to illustrate the interior construction.

Figure 3 is a view showing one step in the process of forming I the confection shell within the cone, such view being also partly broken away.

The blank 1 is formed preferably of paralin or waxed paper, and is substantially sector shaped. It is to be noted that it has a straight edge 2 which extends towards the center and a second straight edge 3, and that these edges are joined by means of a slightly cut away curved portion 4.\ It is to be noted, however', that the outer surface of this blank is not formed on one continuous arc, but is formed on a circular arc 5 of a given radius through a portion of its extent and for the remainder of its extent is formed on a Circular arc 6 of greater ra- Serial No. 15,894.

It is to be noted that the portions of greater and lesser radius are joined by a straight edge, and that a curved cut 7 eX- tends inwardly a slight distance to provide a tab 8.

In forming this paper cone, it is rolled with the edge 3 innermost and is so formed that a double thickness, as indicated at l and l, is provided throughout the major portion of the extent and up to the curved edge 5 which forms the upper edge of the shorter cone. It is to be noted further that the upper edge 6 forms the upper edge of the paper cone, and that the portion 6 is of single thickness from the edge 5 to the edge 6. Further, it will be noted that the tab 8 is left separate from the body portion of the cone for a short distance, thus affording an easy manipulatingmember to initiate the tearing operation of the portion 6.

It is to be noted that the paper cone is formed of parained or waxed paper. It

is, therefore, an easy matter, when the cone 'A is rolled into shape, to secure the necessary parts together by application of heat to slightly melt the paraflin or waX in the paper and to cause the overlapping portions to firmly adhere.

Aft-er the cone is secured in this rolled condition, it is inverted, as shown in Figure 3, and a suitable forming member, such as the truncated conical device 9, is dipped in a chocolate bath and immediately raised upwardly into the lower end of the cone with the chocolate adhering to the walls of the member 9, thus forming a temporary coating on such member. However, when the member is lifted upwardly into the cone, the chocolate shell, indicated at l0 in Figure 2, is formed and securely adheres to the inner walls of the cone by a cementing action between the waxed paper and the heated chocolate, thus forming a securely adhering coat on the inner side of the upper portion of the cone.

yIt is to be particularly noted that the truncated conical device 9 is' lifted upwardly out of a chocolate bath, the liquid chocolate on such member adhering, without separate adhesive, when it comes in contact with the inner wall of the paper cone. This operation being performed, the truncated conical device 9 1s withdrawn from the paper cone immediately, and the liquid chocolate adhering to the inner wall of the paper cone is left to harden. While the chocolate shell is hardening within the paper cone, it securely sticks to the cone and it has been found that no separate adhesive is needed in this process. Further, when the single thickness sheet is torn from the shell it is pulled directly outwardly from the shell and readily peals from this chocolate shell. Further, it will be seen that the double thickness portion overlaps the lower portion of nthe chocolate shell and remains firmly adherent thereto.

It is to be noted from Figure 2 that the lower portion ofthe chocolate shell 10 is overlapped by the upper edge 5 of the paper cone.

The finished article is thus a unitary structure with theV chocolate shell formed as a unitary portion -of the cone and securely su thereto and reenforced by the paper s e In using the device, the charge of ice cream, as indicated at 11, is placed within the chocolate shell and the device is then ready for use. In using it, .it is merely necessary for the purchaser to grasp the tab 8 and tear the portion 6 from the remaining portion ofv the cone. It is to be noted that this portion 6 readily tears, as it is a single layer, and as it is guided for the vtearing line by the double thickness of the body portion of the cone, the top edge formed by the curved line or edge 5 effectively securing this desired uniform tearing. The portion 6 is pulled directly away from the. chocolate shell *'10, and may be removed therefrom without disturbing the shell. After this portion has been removed, the shell is securely held by its lower overlapped end,

which is securely cemented in a unitary manner to the body portion of the cone.

0 It will be noted also that by this invention the Waste usually attendant upon the use of confection cones is wholly avoided and it is'not necessary to fill the cone or coat it to its lower` end.

It is to be particularly noted that the chocolate shell is not merely a separate member slipped into a finished paper cone, but is a unitary portion of the cone itself.

It'will thus be seen that a confection cone has been provided which is sanitary, which may be cheaply produced, and which is an economical article to' manufacture.

Although the invention has been described in considerable detail, it isl to be understood that the invention may be variousl -embodied andlis, therefore, yto be limite only as claimed.

I claim: e

A confection cone comprising a conical paper body portion of double thickness throughout its lower and major portion, and of single thickness at its upper portion,.the upper portion being formed as a continua tion of the inner layer of the paper cone, and a confection shell -of truncated conical form lined and secured `to the 7inner sideof the upper portion of the cone, and having its lower-portion overlapped by the upper edge of the double thickness lower portion, and a tab free from the layers of the cone and formed integrally as a lateral continuation of the single thickness upper portion.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing -I have hereunto set my hand at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin.
